It is very close to YorkMinster and close to the River and City Centre. It’s a different vibe (in a good way) from staying in a more modern hotel. Staff are very helpful. Breakfast is great, beautiful garden and great drinks area. We also had dinner in the restaurant one night and that was very good too.

The staff and grounds were amazing. Loved the garden and the character of Gray’s Court. The bed and mattress in our room are in need of an upgrade as the mattress sagged a bit and the bed frame croaked with every motion.

This hotel is very near Yorkminster with garden access to get up to the city walls. The building has parts that date to the 11th century. Each room is named not numbered. The staff were excellent. I am vegan, and for the breakfast, they were very willing to adapt to my dietary preferences, and it was delicious. The rooms are a nice size and we'll appointed. In addition, they invite you to relax in the Long Hall, which is a 14th century addition to the building where King James I stopped and while their knighted 6 men. I cannot praise the hotel enough. We were made really welcome and enjoyed staying in such an old building.

We had a fantastic stay at Grays Court. The location is perfect, right in the heart of York, making it easy to explore the city while enjoying the peace and charm of this beautiful historic hotel. The highlight of our stay was the amazing staff. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. A special mention has to go to Nala, the lovely resident dog, who was so friendly and such a joy to see during our stay. She really adds to the warm, welcoming atmosphere of the hotel. Grays Court is full of history, character, and outstanding hospitality. We had a wonderful stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The reception was first class. The room very clean with a wonderfully comfortable bed. The breakfast was also very good but some might say lacked much choice ie fresh fruit etc. however all the staff we encountered were friendly and very helpful. The position of the hotel in York could not have been better Our visit took place on 29th March 2026.
